Last week, Florine suffered severe injuries after falling from one of the upper pitches on El Cap. Now he’s asking others to use his experience as a reason to stay humble on the rock. Florine was climbing the route with Abraham Shreve when he placed a piece of protective gear that didn’t hold. He ultimately tumbled off the face and hit a ledge below, breaking a leg in the process.

After the fall, Shevre assisted the injured pro by getting him anchored in a safe spot where they would spend the night. Florine posted a selfie to Instagram letting the Yosemite climbing community know he was requiring a rescue. That rescue wouldn’t be completed until the following morning. The group says that the experience should serve as a reminder to all climbers that complacency can prove deadly.
